Investee Company Update: Nuuvera listing delayed to 9th January 2018
FastForward announces that it has been informed by investee company Nuuvera Corp ("Nuuvera" or "the Company"), a privately held company formed to capitalize on the global secular trend towards the legalization of cannabis, in which FastForward has a holding of 3.75%, that it expects to release the following announcement in Canada later today:
"Due to a clerical error at the TSX, Nuuvera Inc. ("Nuuvera")(TSXV : NUU) was advised by TSX this morning that it will be open for trading at the market open on Tuesday, January 9, 2018, and not on Monday, January 8, 2018, as previously announced. Nuuvera has been assured by the TSX that the 24-hour delay has been solely caused by TSX itself and in no way reflects any change in Nuuvera's status as a listed issuer on TSX Venture Exchange in good standing.
In connection with the trading delay, Ungad Chadda, President, Capital Formation, Toronto Stock Exchange, TSX Venture Exchange, provided the following statement to Nuuvera and its shareholders:
"We are honoured to have Nuuvera join the TSX Venture Exchange and want to assure the public that Nuuvera has been formally approved as a listed company on TSX Venture Exchange. We also take this opportunity to apologize to Nuuvera and its stakeholders on the delayed first day of trading which was caused by a clerical error. Nuuvera will be available for trading at the open on Tuesday, January 9, 2018, and we look forward to hosting the Nuuvera team to open the market this Wednesday, January 10, 2018 to celebrate their listing."
In response to these events, the President and CEO of Nuuvera, Lorne Abony, issued the following statement:
"We thank TMX for taking steps to expeditiously resolve this issue, so that Nuuvera can begin trading as quickly as possible. While we are disappointed that we will not begin trading on Monday, as planned, we know that success in our growing industry is all about the long term. Nuuvera has the strategy, team and perspective to create long term success, and to approach this industry in a responsible way. We are eager to provide investors with the opportunity to join us on this mission."
